The guild also created 3 pillowcases and 27 mattress covers for the NICU at Hershey Children's Hospital, contributing to a more comforting environment for newborns and their families. In support of the Humble Bumble Project, they assembled 52 Humble Haversacks and 52 Bumble Bags to be filled with items for cancer patients and their caregivers. Furthermore, the guild honored veterans in hospice care by providing 32 quilts through the We Honor With Quilts initiative. Lastly, they made an impressive 88 comfort quilts for both children and adults facing challenges in Tioga and Potter counties, demonstrating their commitment to spreading warmth and kindness throughout the community.
